[edit]OWID charts by latest datapoint and maps by year
[edit]Please add categories for the years of the data maps by Our World in Data as well as OWID charts by the latest data point into Category:Charts by year of latest data.
This is useful for many reasons such as making things in the image explicit as metadata, making things queryable (for example combining cats using petscan), statistics, search (see the search box in the category), better enabling people to find the latest version for some data, better WMC search engine results (often there's outdated at the top of MediaSearch results), and (probably most importantly) updating outdated/old datagraphics that are in use (the tool GLAMorgan can be used for that if the files are categorized as described).
- Here is the petscan query for OWID maps with unspecified year (~552 items)
- Here is the petscan query for OWID charts with unspecified year of latest data (~2704 items)
- I suggested that the OCR tool is adapted for that so it reads the text in the files and then retrieves the latest year number to allow you to add categories based on that. A problem is that sources specified in the image can also include a year number so one would have to differentiate between years in the title or Y/X axis and years somewhere in the text at the bottom of the image. In any case such a tool doesn't exist – only https://ocr.wmcloud.org/ and the request was archived after some discussion so it's unlikely to be implemented any time soon and there are probably more important issues to work on currently. Please also comment if you have some input in regards to such an OCR-categorizer tool.

[edit]Please copy and maybe subcategorize videos as described. I think such time-lapse videos are the most interesting ones when it comes to time-lapse videos of cities. --Prototyperspective (talk) 16:30, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Wikipedia-specific videos should be there, not only a random subset. --Prototyperspective (talk) 16:30, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Missing items
[edit]The following categories miss many items. If you find a category both valid and useful but to be quite incomplete (you are quite sure there's many more files on this site) you can add it here.
Including a subcat for audio files of music.
(Of and about software development.)
(Especially files about media coverage of science.)
